NRMCA Announces Michael Philipps as New PresidentFriday, February 15, 2019

Silver Spring, MD – February 15, 2019
– The National Ready Mixed Concrete
Association (NRMCA) announced today
that its Board of Directors has
selected Michael Philipps to serve as
president, effective March 8, 2019.
Mr. Philipps comes to NRMCA with more
than 30 years of experience in the
concrete products and construction
industry, most recently as vice
president of business development,
construction materials, for Sandler
Training. Prior to that, he served in
various vice president-level sales
development positions with CEMEX USA
and sales management/director of
sales/global key accounts positions
with W.R. Grace & Co.’s Grace
Performance Chemicals Division.

William Childs, chairman of the
Presidential Search Committee, noted
“Mike was the clear choice in the eyes
of the search committee given his
ability to lead, guide, motivate and
train people, his ability to
effectively work with existing and new
members, an exhibited track record of
success and knowledge of NRMCA’s
membership, and his predictive ability
to advance the association, its
membership and our industry.”

Mr. Philipps commented, “I am honored
to be given the opportunity to
continue the outstanding work the
Association does for our members and
the industry.”

Rodney Grogan, NRMCA chairman of the
Board added, “I would first like to
thank Bill Childs and the members of
the search committee for the thorough
job they did in identifying Mike as
the best person to lead NRMCA forward.
Filling Bob Garbini’s shoes in this
role after his 27 years of service
will not be easy, but I believe the
NRMCA Board has selected an individual
who, with his experience and
relationships in the industry, will
help provide the needed leadership for
the success of our association, our
members and the industry into the
future.”

Last November, current President
Robert Garbini announced his
retirement effective March 7, but he
will remain in an ad-hoc consulting
capacity for a period of time to
support the transition in leadership.

ready mixed concrete and the companies

of concrete. The association provides
its members with education, training,
